5. Product overview and installation requirements

During the installation, ensure to leave a minimum distance from possible objects around it to allow the door to open and facilitate possible maintenance operations. The image below shows the recommended minimum distance needed to perform the installation.

There are two different options when installing Eiffel Plus: using an underground power supply cable and a ground-level power supply cable.

6. Installation with the underground power supply cable

Mounting the base

Build a concrete foundation with an empty conduit and lay all the cables in the foundation’s centre.

Ensure the cables have the appropriate excess length for the remaining installation. 

The distance between the pedestal base and the electrical panel is 0.3 meters. To have the needed cable length provide at least 0.6 meters for the power cables and up to 1 meter for communication cables.

Drilling

Place it on the top of the foundation, pass the power supply cable through the centre hole, and mark the positions of the four boreholes on the concrete foundation.

Remove the drilling template and drill four holes. The drill bits for the anchor bolts should be Ø 12 mm.

Remove the nuts and washers from the anchor bolts. Insert the anchors in the drilled holes, ensuring they are levelled and at least 40mm above the top of the foundation.

Mounting the pedestal

Carefully remove the pedestal from the packaging. If using a utility knife,  make sure not to scratch it. Use the key to open the door; the same key opens both locks. Place the pedestal over the four anchor screws and pass the power supply cable through the centre hole in the pedestal’s base.

Place the washers and the nuts over the anchor screws and tighten the screws with the socket spanner extension. Tighten the anchor screws up to 34 Nm for masonry and 54 Nm for concrete. Then, connect the power supply cable to the fusebox.

Install the charger following the Installation Guide. Remember to check the special considerations explained in the following chapter.  

7. Installation with the ground-level power supply cable

The power supply cable may be preserved and placed along the wall/floor. 

Mounting the base

Build a concrete foundation with an empty conduit and lay all the cables in the foundation’s centre.

The distance between the pedestal base and the electrical panel is 0.3 meters. To have the needed cable length, provide at least 0.6 meters for the power cables and up to 1 meter for communication cables.

Before proceeding with the installation, remove the top cover and save the screws for later use.

Drilling

Find the drilling template at www.support.wallbox.com. Place it on the top of the foundation and mark the positions of the four boreholes on the concrete foundation.

Remove the drilling template and drill four holes. The drill bits for the anchor bolts should be Ø 12 mm.

Remove the nuts and washers from the anchor bolts. Insert the anchors in the drilled holes, ensuring they are levelled and at least 40mm above the top of the foundation.

Mounting the pedestal

Carefully remove the pedestal from the packaging. If using a utility knife,  make sure not to scratch it. Use the key to open the door; the same key opens both locks. Place the pedestal over the four anchor screws.


Place the washers and the nuts over the anchor screws and tighten the screws with the socket spanner extension. Tighten the anchor screws up to 34 Nm for masonry and 54 Nm for concrete.

Find the three pre-die-cut holes in the back of the pedestal and knock them out. Then, pass one cable gland through the hole and fix it to the pedestal with a nut. Connect the cable to the fuse box. 

Install the charger following the Installation Guide. Remember to check the special considerations explained in the following chapter.

8. Installing Copper SB

Before installing the charger

Check that the earthing cable is connected.

Two output tubes are placed on the fuse box. The thicker one (power cables) goes into the upper hole on the left side of the pedestal. The other (communication cables) goes through the smaller hole under the other. 

Once the cables are identified, remove the nut from the main tube. 

Installing the charger

Make sure to fix the cable protector inside the pedestal with the respective washers and nuts.

Fix the grommet, then pass the communication tube through the respective hole. Ensure to leave 10 cm of cable from the pedestal.

Remove the knock-out on the back of the charger. 

Pass the main tube through the rear hole. Then, fix it with the nut. Pass the communication tube through the charger’s lower hole. 

Electrical Wiring

Connect cables and connector points, ensuring that each cable is connected to the corresponding phase line:
